Denver International Airport trains stall, drivers take over

Automatic trains that ferry passengers between concourses and Jeppesen Terminal at Denver International Airport broke down Sunday morning stranding some passengers until drivers could arrive and run them manually.

The trains stopped moving at about 11:35 a.m. said airport spokeswoman Laura Coale.

"When the automatic mode isn't working we have drivers come down and manually drive," Coale said.

Drivers had all six of the four-car trains operating within 10 minutes. "The trains continue to be driven manually. We are waiting for a part to get the automatic system back up and running," Coale said.

Coale said the number of passengers that have been using the airport Sunday morning was low and that she is "doubtful" that anyone missed a plane as a result of the delay.
